ABOUT NELLY ELESSA

I specialise in helping emerging women leaders from the global majority rise, lead, and thrive at senior levels through identity mastery and transformational leadership development.With equity, excellence, and identity at the heart of my practice, I create bold, unapologetic learning spaces where women leaders develop the clarity, confidence, and presence to navigate senior leadership with impact.My work sits at the intersection of identity mastery, executive presence, energetic intelligence, and transformational development — because the inner work of leadership is the real work. And when individuals rise, culture shifts.I partner with organisations committed to advancing equity in senior leadership and building cultures where diverse leaders can truly thrive. My flagship Black Women Leadership Programme — delivered in collaboration with progressive talent and organisational development teams — opens doors, shifts culture, and elevates voices that need to be heard.With over a decade of experience in leadership development, I’ve delivered high-impact coaching, workshops, and capability-building programmes across Europe, the U.S, and Africa. My clients include global brands and higher education institutions shaping the future of inclusive leadership.As an ex-corporate leader turned certified coach and entrepreneur, I bring lived experience, strategy, emotional intelligence, and Positive Intelligence (PQ) to transform leadership journeys from the inside out. My approach is holistic, human-centred, and unapologetically empowering. If your organisation is ready to future-proof its leadership pipeline by developing bold, values-led, and visibly impactful women leaders — let’s talk. h••••@nellyelessa.com nellyelessa.com Or message me here on LinkedIn.Bilingual FR/EN | Based in Paris Follow for content on transformational leadership, identity work & executive presence.
